MICK Jagger’s childhood home, where he first met fellow band member Keith Richards, looks unrecognisable.
The half-a-million pound Kent pad has been completely gutted from the inside in a pricey transformation ahead of it being put on the market.

Rolling Stones legend Jagger, 80, moved into the 1930’s four-bed property shortly after his birth in 1943.
The lead vocalist was known in the Dartford area for doing exercise in the tiny front garden with his PE teacher dad.
The house recently sold for £512,000 – doubling in value in just ten years – and looks completely different.
All of the interior is either painted white or grey, with grey carpets, furnishing and wallpaper to match.
One of the only original features left is the pretty stained glass in the hallway window.
Farrah Ohue, who moved into Jagger’s old home last year, said she often sees people outside snapping pictures.
She said: “I had to get used to seeing people stopping and taking pictures of the house.
“I am more surprised about how many people know about it. For us it feels like a normal house.
“We always get asked about it by delivery men.
“It is a talking point. It is more of a quirk, a thing we can tell people.”
Farrah, who lives with her husband and daughter, said the estate agent did tell them about the former celeb owner – but that wasn’t why they decided to move in.
During his youth, Jagger attended Wentworth Primary School in the town.
He soon became classmates with a boy named Keith Richards in the September of 1950.
Four years later, the Jagger family moved to nearby Wilmington.
Brief history of the Rolling Stones
THE ROLLING STONES have been hailed as one of the greatest rock bands ever.
The Rolling Stones are an English rock band.
They formed in London in 1962 and over the years were hailed.
Currently, The Rolling Stones band consists of original members Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, along with late-joiner Ronnie Wood and now Bill Wyman yet again.
The Rolling Stones have remained active into the 2020s, releasing close to thirty studio albums throughout their decades-long career.
In 2021, they prepped a new box set for their album Tattoo You, – released in August 1981 – as a way to celebrate its 40th anniversary.
On March 14, 2022, the band announced their summer ‘European Sixty’ tour via Twitter.
The tour kicked off at Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, Spain, on June 1, and will wrap up with a July 31 show at Friends Arena in Stockholm, Sweden.
In 2021, the Rolling Stones became the highest-earning live act beating Taylor Swift.
And last year, they released a new album.
Jagger changed schools to Dartford Grammer and lost touch with Richards.
But fate soon took its course.
As teenagers, Jagger and Richards met again on the platform of Dartford railway station in October 1961.
Richards struck up a conversation about the Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records he was carrying at the time, and the rest is history.
The Rolling Stones went on to sell 200 million records.
